SOUTHWEST ASIA - U.S. and Turkish military forces conducted their second combined joint patrol northwest of Manbij today. The continued combined patrols allow U.S. and Turkish military forces to complement the local security structure for security and stability in Manbij.
"The interoperability skillsets that both nations enact through these joint patrols showcase a true level of professionalism and dedication to the people who are affected by ISIS's violent and false ideological beliefs," said Lt. Col. Earl Brown, a USCENTCOM spokesman. "As partner forces, we're entirely supportive of the Manbij road map and these combined patrols."

BAGHDAD – Thousands of tons of United Nations humanitarian aid have been safely delivered to the Rukban internally displaced persons camp near At Tanf, Syria. The Maghaweir al-Thowra, a partner of Combined Joint Task Force - Operation Inherent Resolve, provided security to ensure the safe delivery of the UN convoy.
The security provided by the MaT allowed for UN and Red Crescent aid workers to safely administer life-saving medical and humanitarian relief prior to the winter season, when mortality rates would be expected to be highest without assistance.

SOUTHWEST ASIA -- The Coalition has worked by, with and through partners since 2014 to defeat ISIS in designated parts of Iraq and Syria, liberating nearly 8 million Iraqis and Syrians from ISIS’s brutal rule and reducing its control of territory to approximately one percent of what it previously held.
We continue to employ thorough and deliberate targeting and strike processes to minimize the impact of our operations on civilian populations and infrastructure. This process includes thorough review and vetting of each target package prior to a strike, and another review after that strike. Our regular strike reports make our activities publicly accessible, and our monthly publication of civilian casualty reports makes our civilian casualty assessments similarly accessible to the public.
As we have demonstrated, we are willing to consider new civilian casualty allegations as well as new or compelling evidence on past allegations to establish accountability based on the best available evidence.
